The company of Mark Zuckerberg sees very large and would simulate a real-time world, the most faithful as possible to reality ... like so that the user will not be able to distinguish with the real.

"
A real challenge to achieve perfection
By 2025, Facebook will have to really work hard, Mark Zuckerberg's ambition is simply perfection, which means to melt down many barriers, especially in terms of sound perceptions, interactions with the virtual environment or being able to see his face in a reflection, which in itself is very complex with a helmet on his head! Mark Zuckerberg is also aware of this, he said there is little: "This poses problems of reconstruction of the 3D world, because facial reconstruction has Oculus on the face: it will succeed in the resynthesize to the person in front. "
The applications are numerous with this system, it would be easy to imagine that one can teleport into a shop to shop online for example, could also very well imagine virtual walks most successful way with Google Earth or even instant messaging to a new genre where one could teleport his interlocutor in a virtual reality, to have a face to face discussion ...
